[Shotimes] A/C Removal

[Tim Dahm]

   Also don't forget the a/c compressor is a structural part
of the cast bracket that the front motor mount, compressor
and alternator mount to. With out the compressor physically
in place you will crack this bracket sooner or later. The 94-95
bracket was never available as a service part so if you bust it
you might be SOL.
